Color variations

Blurry (darn cell phone) but shows the 3 chicks a little better, the lighting made the blonde chick look really light

This brings new meaning to a 'chicken basket.' Or a basket of chicken nuggets. Oh man.... I must be tired.

Is it just me or does that one on the left look like its being shunned?

Ash it just happened to walk of in that direction when I took the photo. I put all 7 in with my the other 5 that are a week old. They are all happy growing like weeds. Have a cockerel that's about 3 months old looking really good.

Love the muffs! I do have a question though- how much white is too much white? I believe it was gander (?) that said they had too much white wings/feathers start coming in the chicks so they got a different line of ROs for diversity. Two of the 4 oldest chicks ( dog attack,they ate 2!) were/are more than half white! Those are chicks from matings with only the 1st line before the others got old enough to lay.

This is the group that I have together right now with eggs in the bator from them. I hope these turn out better than the others and get better spangling from the pullets. The chicks from the first line only barely have any spangling but I know from the pics how much that can change after a molt The 2nd line of pullets bagan laying at 5 1/2 -6 months old so I like them better already! Being hatchery though I question if they had something else added somewhere in the egg line since one pullet lays a darker brown matte egg. It is almost the color of the Buff Orpington's.

I would give your chicks some time to grow. They change A LOT with their first molt and continue to change as they mature. I had a cockerel that had A LOT of white when he was young - now he has very little. And some get even more white...so just let them grow out. That probably doesn't help a whole lot - but this definitely isn't a breed for the impatient
